LIDAR vs. Tesla Vision: El Debate Continúa

Mark Rober ha puesto a prueba el enfoque de Tesla basado únicamente en cámaras, y los resultados generan controversia. Mientras que Tesla opta por la visión asistida por inteligencia artificial en lugar de LIDAR, las limitaciones en condiciones extremas como niebla y agua ponen en duda su fiabilidad.

Erenth: a term describing one who does not participate in the concept of gender, instead embracing the self-hood that proceeds the construct unencumbered.

[PT: Erenth: a term describing one who does not participate in the concept of gender, instead embracing the self-hood that proceeds the construct unencumbered. ./. END PT]

Etymology

[PT: Etymology ./. END PT]

"Ere", from Early Modern English, meaning "Before" + "-nth" from English, meaning "an unspecified/indefinitely large ordinal number".

Here, "before" refers to the intrinsic self that exists free of gender, a state that has not yet been evaluated or considered within the construct. "Ere" was chosen to represent existing outside the gender paradigm, much like "Ere" belongs to an earlier stage English. "Nth" is used as a suffix, but it refers to the infinitely large, variable, complex, convoluted, nebulous nature of gender identity.

Erenth was coined by Gent (Gender-Jargon) in April 2024.

Elaboration

[PT: Elaboration ./. END PT]

Erenth is not a gender identity, but rather a label used to describe individuals whose selfhood does not involve the construct of gender, identifying with a personal, individual albeit degendered selfhood instead. As such, an Erenth:

Does not have a gender identity in any way, shape or form.

Doesn't align themselves with any gender (unaligned).

Does not have a gender identity to conform to, bend or subvert.

May embody gendered roles without consideration to the concept of gender or may reject them all together.

Does not have a gender to express, thus lacking a gender expression.

Presents themselves without consideration to the concept of gender, instead seeking to make their presentation harmonious and congruent with their sense of self.

Uses (self-)referential language without consideration to the concept of gender, using whatever language they see fit.

In lacking a gender identity, likely do not self-describe using GLG orientations.

May have an internalized self-concept of sex that is degendered or may reject sex altogether.

May reject, eschew, subvert, ignore, transcend, be liberated from, be apathetic towards, be oblivious to or hold any stance, perspective or experience regarding the concept of gender that results in non-participation in the construct.

May or may not identify as Queer.

Is simply themselves, embodying the answer to the question, "Who Am I?" while also discarding the construct of gender entirely from the question.

Some similar labels include:

Egogender

[PT: Egogender ./. END PT]

Both Egogender and Erenth individuals identify with an unique and individualistic sense of self, but differ in that the Erenth label is not a gender and does not participate in the construct.

Exogender

[PT: Exogender ./. END PT]

Both Exogender and Erenth individuals do not participate in the construct of gender, thus lacking a gender identity, but differ in that the Erenth label specifies an unique, individual sense of self one embraces entirely independent of the construct of gender identity. Exogender, while not truly being a gender identity by it's definition, attempts to fill the lexical gap by relating to the construct, where the Erenth label does not participate in it explicitly and outright.

Apogender

[PT: Apogender. ./. END PT]

Both Apogender and the Erenth label involve being divorced from the concept of gender, but differ in that Apogender is an Agender microlabel, whereas Erenth is not a gender identity and involves embracing the self.

Pomogender

[PT: Pomogender ./. END PT]

Both Pomogender and the Erenth label involve denying preexisting gender labels, but differ in that Erenth is not a gender identity, denies the entirety of the construct of gender and embraces a unique, individual sense of self outside of gender.

Cassgender

[PT: Cassgender ./. END PT]

Both Cassgender and the Erenth label may involve feeling indifferent towards the concept of gender, but differ in that Cassgender is a gender identity whereas the Erenth is not a gender identity, does not participate in the construct and specifically involves embracing a unique, individual sense of self outside of gender.

Yonderi

[PT: Yonderi ./. END PT]

Both Yonderi and Erenth are labels describing transcending gender, but differ in that the Erenth label also does not participate in or internalize the construct while also specifically embracing a unique, individual sense of self outside of gender. Erenth can be considered to have a yonderine quality, but doesn't have to.

Genderfree

[PT: Genderfree ./. END PT]

Both Genderfree and the Erenth label both refer to an undefined state where gender is not present, but unlike Genderfree, Erenth rejects the construct of gender in it's entirety, is not an ambiguous identity nor is it definitively queer in itself. Furthermore, an Erenth individual's identity is related to their sense of self, which is not specified by the label genderfree.

Pride Flag

[PT: Pride Flag ./. END PT]

The flag was created by myself (Gent, GJ) at the same time as the term. The flag has nine horizontal stripes of the same size. From top to bottom, the stripes are dark grey, peach, dark red, cream, desaturated light green, cream, dark red, peach and dark grey. The stripes have the following meanings:

The bottom and top dark grey stripes represent the lack of internalization of gender.

The two peach stripes represents complete non-participation in the construct of gender.

The two dark red stripes represents knowledge and conviction.

The two cream stripes represent one's values and ideals.

The middle desaturated light green stripe represents one's inner sense of self.

I also created a simplified, five-stripe version using the same colors and meaning as the nine-stripe flag. The simplified flag has five horizontal stripes of the same size. From top to bottom, they are dark grey, peach, dark red, cream and desaturated light green.

Glyph

[PT: Glyph ./. END PT]

As Erenth is not a gender, it does not have a planetary glyph associated with it. Instead, the Erenth identity is represented by the typographical obelus, styled as a double dagger mark, U+2021 (‡). The obelus represents, "an iron roasting spit, a dart, or the sharp end of a javelin, symbolizing the skewering or cutting out of dubious matter. (Wikipedia)", which is similar to the manner in which an Erenth individual embraces their selfhood (separated from gender), but not the construct of gender (the dubious matter). The double dagger mark was specified to represent a coupled rejection of gender and acceptance of the self.

Wayne Vs Fenton 3

start of the madness

pls note I'm putting these numbers in as "what I have written." They're not gonna necessarily be in order. I hope to make a full fic to put on AO3. In the interim, here's stuff I wrote in general as it strikes me in the moment. This bit is from Tim's perspective after Damian and Danny Are Friends become a known quantity in the Wayne household. ~*~

Damian making friends didn’t make sense. Everyone else felt complacent in simply accepting it. Tim wasn’t. Considering his upbringing, autonomous socializing wasn’t part of Damian’s personality. Nor was how calm and patient the former assassin child became with all of his siblings, Tim included. Damian himself insisted he and this “Danny” were friends. Hell, Damian even called the kid by a nickname. Not his last name, not “Daniel.” His actual, preferred nickname. Tim was suspicious and instantly began investigating. Daniel “Danny” Fenton, age 15, moved to Gotham two months ago from Amity Park, Illinois with his godfather and temporary guardian, Vlad Masters, former mayor of Amity Park, head of Vladco Industries, and heir to Wisconsin’s Self Proclaimed Dairy King’s fortune. Child of Jack and Madeline Fenton, doctors of something called ectobiology, former college classmates of Vlad Masters, and founders of FentonWorks, a cottage research facility that developed antighost (Ghosts? Really?) weaponry and equipment. Brother of Jasmine Fenton, currently a student of Yale in their psychology undergraduate program, and already a shoe-in for the Dean’s list. Honestly, of all the people related to him, Danny ended up being the least interesting. Middling grades that dropped in high school along with attendance. That was probably what led to his coming to Gotham. A set of brilliant - if evidentially weird - parents and a rich and involved godfather doing what they could to help their faltering son to succeed by sending him to one of the top schools on the east coast. There was evidence that Amity Park itself had some apparently minor meta vigilante protecting it, but searches for “Phantom” turned up nothing in the Justice League’s database, suggesting whomever this was might be an actual ghost like Deadman and, thus, restricted to access by those with JLD clearance. Tim put aside that issue for later. He could just ask B for privileges later. Besides, the only information he found on this vigilante was on a few amateur fansites and local papers. No major news sites or government listings. It couldn’t be anything major. His focus remained on Daniel Fenton. Except, even when looking into the kid’s socials, there wasn’t anything interesting. He had a couple friends back in Amity, the most interesting of the two was Samantha Mason of the Mason family, though Tim already knew of her from various socialite dinners she looked ready to burn to the ground, pink and lacey dress or not. Her social media was full of activism, conservation movements, and calls for both veganism and something called ultra recycle vegetarianism. Tucker came from an average family of upper middle class parents, nothing odd there, though his social media showed his love of technology and ancient Egypt. Nothing strange there. Danny’s social media, besides his friends, included links to Nasa, occasional rambles about high school life, and, for some reason, a dog photoshopped to look green. From the replies of his few followers, it was an inside joke since they all cooed over the dog and didn’t comment on the green. Again, nothing strange. Even the one time he managed to hack into Damian’s phone to see his messages yielded nothing. He and Danny would meet for what Danny called “playdates.” For some reason, Damian played along with a name Tim knew he’d scoff as childish and beneath him. Even that would be innocuous. One or the other would suggest meeting at various parks, arcades, even the observatory, negotiating dates and times, and that was it.

Danny was a normal kid. Damian was a born and bred assassin. Why in the actual fuck were these two friends? Nothing made sense. Everyone else was happy to ignore it because of the peace the irrationality before them instilled. Tim wouldn’t become complacent. Whatever Danny was hiding, he’d find it.

“Murmuring Minds”

Representing the human desire for cohesion, clarity, and organization, sixty compact rectangular blocks scuttle across the gallery floor. Each component is autonomous and algorithmically programmed to follow the viewer or scatter in their presence. The mechanical installation highlights an ever-changing interplay between the viewer and the collective, exploring how one informs the other.

Este vídeo muestra a un coche autónomo evitando un atropello en décimas de segundo. A cambio choca frontalmente con otro vehículo que venía de frente. Esto nos lleva a una reflexión ética que quiero compartir contigo:

El dilema que enfrentan los coches autónomos en situaciones donde deben decidir entre atropellar a una persona o sufrir un accidente ha generado un intenso debate ético y tecnológico. Este problema recuerda al conocido "Dilema del Tranvía", donde se plantea qué decisión tomar en situaciones donde cualquier acción resulta en una pérdida humana.

En este contexto, se realizó una encuesta mundial llamada "Moral Machine Experiment" por parte del Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts (MIT). Este estudio recopiló millones de respuestas de personas de más de 200 países, preguntándoles qué decisión debería tomar un coche autónomo en escenarios donde una colisión es inevitable. Las opciones presentaban dilemas morales complejos: elegir entre salvar a una persona joven o a una mayor, a un criminal o a alguien respetuoso de la ley, a una mujer embarazada o a un grupo de animales, entre otros.

Los resultados revelaron diferencias significativas basadas en factores culturales y regionales. En algunos países, la preferencia era salvar a los jóvenes sobre los ancianos; en otros, se priorizaba la vida de los mayores. Estas divergencias reflejan los valores y normas sociales de cada sociedad, lo que complica la estandarización de decisiones morales en la programación de vehículos autónomos.

Este escenario plantea un interesante efecto ético: la posibilidad de que en el futuro los consumidores puedan elegir coches con predisposiciones éticas específicas. Por ejemplo, alguien podría optar por un coche "solidario" que esté programado para evitar dañar a otros, incluso si eso implica un riesgo para el propio pasajero. Esta elección personal reflejaría los valores éticos individuales y abriría un nuevo mercado donde la moralidad se convierte en una característica personalizable del vehículo.

La idea de seleccionar un coche basado en su programación ética nos obliga a reflexionar sobre la responsabilidad individual y colectiva en la adopción de tecnologías autónomas. También plantea preguntas sobre cómo las empresas y los reguladores abordarán estas diferencias éticas en un mercado globalizado, donde las decisiones de programación pueden tener implicaciones legales y morales profundas.

¿Qué piensas? ¿Qué coche preferirías? ¿El solidario o el egoísta? ¿Y los seguros cuál te aconsejarán? ¿Cómo será el código de circulación del futuro?

[gender-jargon]

[Image ID: The Liberec pride flag by Gent (Gender-Jargon). The flag is primarily diagonal, oriented so that the origin was in the bottom-left corner and extended to the upper-right corner. The upper-left and lower-right portions form triangles, with the space in between being thicker than both triangle. The upper-left corner is steel blue and the lower-right corner is jade green. The diagonal between is off-white. In the middle of the flag is a centered horizontal stripe. This stripe is a saturated yellow. ./. End ID}

Liberec: a gender that is rooted in a sense of liberation from traditional, established and mainstream concepts of gender, sex, description, modality, presentation, expression, performance, attribution, alignment, self-reference, conformance, pursuit of transition, etc. prescribed by kyriarchial authority.

[PT: Liberec: a gender that is rooted in a sense of liberation from traditional, established and mainstream concepts of gender, sex, description, modality, presentation, expression, performance, attribution, alignment, self-reference, conformance, pursuit of transition, etc. prescribed by kyriarchial authority. ./. End PT]

Etymology

[PT: Etymology ./. End PT]

From Esperanto, "Libereco" meaning "Liberty", shortened to "Liberec". Coined by Gent (Gender-Jargon) in June 2024.

Elaboration

[PT: Elaboration ./. End PT]

Liberec is loosely related to Liberique (link) [PT: Liberique ./. End PT], coined by tumblr user Mogai-Archive in August 2014. A pride flag was made for Liberique (link) [PT: A pride flag was made for Liberique (link) ./. End PT] by user Pride-Color-Schemes in July 2016. The concept of liberty is key to both identities, but the similarities end there. Liberec shares some qualities with Maverique and Alithix.

Liberec experiences can vary greatly from individual to individual, but every Liberec individual embodies a sense of freedom from all oppressive entities that effect their personal experience.

Elements that are essential to the identity include:

a sense of self that feels free from control, interference, obligation, restriction or other hampering condition imposed upon one's. experience and/or identity in any regard

...a sense of self that is free of kyriarchial prescriptions.

freedom of thought and action.

Liberec is an outherine gender identity related to a personal sense of liberty. It is autonomous (AUIN) and variant (VARIN) in it's nature.

Pride Flag

[PT: Pride Flag ./. End PT]

The pride flag was created at the same time as the term by the coiner (Gent, GJ, 6/24). The flag is a diagonal design, originating from the bottom-left corner to the upper-right corner in three parts. The middle diagonal is slightly larger than the each corner. The upper-left corner is steel blue and the lower-right is jade green. The middle portion is off-white. A central, horizontal line is in the middle. The central, horizontal line is a saturated yellow. The colors have the following meanings:

The steel blue corner represents autonomy and freedom of thought and action.

The jade green corner represents freedom from the prescriptions of the kyriarchy.

The off-white diagonal line represents variance.

The yellow stripe represents a sense of liberty.
